Miami Beach, FL – February 19, 2013 – In keeping with the time of year, since the end of February in Miami always means it’s South Beach Wine and Food Festival time, Ocean Drive magazine featured a culinary-inspired edition of its signature feature “The List.” The James Royal Palm and its restaurant, Florida Cookery, held a special event during the food and wine week hosted by Cookery’s head chef/partner Kris Wessel. Chef Wessel’s fellow brothers-in-culinary-arms who were honored on “The List” came out with other tastemakers and influencers to sip on Russian Standard Vodka cocktails, enjoy bites from Florida Cookery, and some tunes.
